You will be fine, I am right ahead of you on the 18th. I am having my surgery done in South Carolina just outside of Myrtle Beach. Luckily for me I live right around the corner from the hospital. I am trying to get all of my ducks in a row at work as I head into my final week of work. I am doing my best drinking my protien shakes and avoiding food. Damn they show a lot of food commercials on TV.

I think there are a few others right around both of our surgery dates check the role call for April. Good Luck and I will have a prayer for you as well as a couple for myself LOL.

Hi my surgery is April 19, so I'm in the middle! After having a meltdown and lots of second thoughts, I'm excited and anxious again! I send up prayers for successful sleevers and traveling mercy to and from our destination and speedy recovery! April sleevers rock!

To Sashadee, unfortunately I will be alone also. My sister underwent surgery twice last week. So I don't have any one else to trust nor ask at the last minute. So, I will put it all in God's hands and leave on Tuesday April 17 for West VA. I have pretests on Wednesday and surgery on Thursday. And because I live more than 100 miles, I have to stay in the hospital until Monday 23rd.

@jafter Surgery is being done in Cali, with my moms dr who did her lapband. That across the country as I live in NYC :/ I will keep you in my prayers also! Thanks do much :) I stay away from the tv. Too many food temptations. I stay away from my bf also! He loves fast food :/ (don't worry after the surgery he said he'd eat junk food quietly behind my back, hidden) thank god!

@fannyf I've had like ten meltdowns believe me this has been a hectic ride. I am so ready even tho I'll be going alone. My mom can't take off of work my bf has class, plus I need him to stay so he can teach me what I missed in a few of my lectures. My best friend is doing her residency rotations :/ I'm out of luck but I'm NOT waiting any longer to get this done.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
